Infinite Value Simulator. $20 for every game ever made ever.

I'm not even entirely sure if this is supposed to be a game. But even if it was a "cinematic experience", it's not even that either. There's 4 enemies, some basic QTE and then ending credits. Took me 25 minutes to beat all 4 at highest difficulty. So yea. Just don't buy this. I paid like 25 cents and I'm pissed.

Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor? More like Middle Earth: So ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Bored.

This game was great for 6 hours. Everything after that is painfully boring. The combat, by design, goes from challenging to face-roll easy. At a certain point you're fighting these orcs as a formality; combat lasts as long as you feel like not instantly killing everything.

The world is pretty but empty but that's more of a Mordor thing, so good job I guess?

The biggest offense here is the paper thin plot. Trust me, you'll know everything you need to know about the story after the intro cutscene/mission.

I honestly can't find myself to like this game. I bought it because of how great Bastion was but the magic just isn't in this one.

Atmosphere: World is pretty but feels empty and bland. Leaves me feeling uninvested
Plot: Paper thin. Nothing to get excited about.
Characters: Vague and ephemeral. There's extra bio stuff when you unlock skill requirements but it's hard to care.
Gameplay: Fun at first. But then you realize how to cheese the system. Then it becomes a chore.

Really just plowing through this to get it out of my backlog. Would not recommend. If you don't have Bastion, go buy that instead. If you DO have Bastion, go play that again.

Old school, yo

One of the best action games I've played in a while. The awesome combat combined with the Tarantino feel makes it a solid purchase.

It is indeed a bloody good time.
